To expand on my previous email, the backports version would be
1.13.1-1~bpo8+1

However debian/control specifies python-urllib3 (= 1.13.1-1); this will
not allow the backported version to work.

Changing this in debian/control as suggested has no impact on the
upstream policy, nor does it require maintaing patches.
